Passion and hobbies are what get one going. No matter the profession, one should definitely have a hobby or interest that they like pursuing apart from their professional realm. The seven-time Olympic gold winner Caeleb Dressel, who is one of the best swimmers in the world right now, follows this mantra with all his heart. However, his interest outside waters is very unique. He is usually seen flaunting his Pokémon cards with his audience on social media.

After witnessing his cards this time, it seems like he is not very far away from the Gary “King Pokémon”, and Logan Paul. Gary “King Pokémon” is the ultimate Pokémon card collector with a collection of around $10 million. Dressel’s collection looks nothing lesser than that.
